Abstract
This paper examines the distinctive value of literature inside organisational theory, and how using narratives as possible future scenarios can help both academics and managers consider the consequences of mental health problems, the (mis)use of drugs, and the division of labour in the workplace. The paper adopts Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World for this purpose. Another contribution of the paper is providing a model that offers managers a step-by-step action plan of how to use literary texts to study sensitive workplace issues, generating new knowledge which would ultimately help them to envision ways to act appropriately and develop future strategies.
